André Renoux — L'Art Pour La Table

In the late 1980s, Denis Spanek developed the original marketing idea of L'Art Pour La Table, or "art for the table" — the design concept of bringing fine art from the wall to the table, where it might reflect the beauty of the cuisine and the dining experience. He brought this concept to market at gourmet kitchenware retailers such as Williams-Sonoma and Sur La Table, where it succeeded beyond all expectation, with series after series of fine china, placemats, coasters, dining trays, and many other fine collectibles.

The great Parisian realist André Renoux created many works of art for us to bring "to the table" on plates and platters, placemats and coasters. These are no longer available in the retail marketplace (and so have become highly collectible, so we're told), but we still have some in stock.

Acquire these classics while we still have them available for you. And if you have chipped or broken one of your Renoux plates, E-mail us or call us at 1-408-446-3000 — we'll try to help you out.
